Brazilian TV [as European TV, AFAIK] usually shows some nudity or non-explicit sex. Eventually, some p*litician begins criticising TV for this, and the argument of those that oppose c*nsorship is that the USA TV has no nudity or sex, and if we want our TV to be as c*nsored as USA TV, so that our society will become as sexually repressive as USA�s. [I don�t know if USA society is this much sexually repressed, but the news that come to us about children being sued for sexual harassment after kissing a classmate scare us. OTOH, we all watch USA TV series, that are paranoically sexless to the point of suggesting that the human body is a monstruosity that should never be shown] Alberto Monteiro
